Campers get a discount on rental equipment.River’s Edge is a four season adventure company in the Northwoods of WI, located strategically in the middle of everything. We facilitate adventures from tube floats and multi-day paddle expeditions to e-bikes and XC skis…and everything in between. Depending on the season, you can expect to be drawn into the activity of a busy summer day or the quiet and solitude of a fall weekend. The location is central to everything the Northwoods has to offer, and is designed as a basecamp for outdoor recreation. Campsite 1 is closest to the river, and accessible from Manitowish River Access Rd. The campsite will accommodate trailers and RVs of varying sizes as well as adventure vehicles and vans. The Manitowish River, accessible across the paved bike path from the campsite, is a class I river and provides excellent wilderness paddling and fishing. Also nearby are four expertly groomed XC ski trail systems. 40 mins to ABR, Winter Park and Zip Trails. Snowshoeing and hiking from the property into adjacent state land with wilderness trails close by. MTB and hiking trail system within ten min. at WinMan Trails, which turn into groomed fat bike trails in winter. History fans will appreciate the significance of this location’s heritage and connection to native trading, prohibition-era rum running, big timber, and the occasional notable gangsters. A range of great food and drink options are close, but don’t let that steer you away from your Jet Boil. Campers receive a discount on equipment rental. We even have camping gear and can arrange to have tents set up on site if you wish.

Exceptional

Chris and Renee are simply excellent hosts! This was our 4th stay at the property. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. The property is especially well suited for paddling and biking the many miles of river and perfect bike trails. The lodge is very comfortable and a great space for a cocktail or even a meal around the table. Wonderful place! We will be back again!

Excellent location close to biking and fishing. Spot worked for us and Chris was a lovely host. If you get the chance - go mountain biking or hiking an Winman Trails. First Hipcamp experience and will book other opportunities.

My Trip to Manitowish 🏕️🛶

I really enjoyed this area! I decided to tent camp instead of RV, so I had tons of extra space at the site! During office (till 5pm) hours you will have a lot of people walk by for the kayak rental but it didn’t bother me or my dog at all. The site has Wi-Fi, electricity and water hookups which was great! Each site also has fire rings but the office back porch has a much nicer setup and had light music playing which I liked! Site 1 is probably the best location here, as it’s close to the river and is a bit more secluded with all the trees. Site 2 is right off the parking lot and is wide open grass setup. The local grocery store in Mercer is only about 8 min away and had solid prices and selection. The owners had a nice selection of wines available for purchase as well. Overall, I had a great experience here and would definitely recommend and visit again! This was also my first time using the Hipcamp app and everything went smoothly!

River's Edge Campsite 1

Truly special place.

Super awesome experience. Idealic base camp right on the river and next to some of the flowiest paved bike trails I’ve ever been on thru the woods that connect to Winman Trails. OneWheel and dog friendly campsite! Chris is an amazing host and just wants you to have an adventure and a good time. So much to do all out your back tent door! Many thanks to the gracious hosts!
